It works well but it's just too slow to open. If you have to turn on/off VPN multiple times a day, I'd suggest to look for another app. For me it takes 10 seconds to open while it's "Optimizing nodes for you". So I may have to open the app 12 times a day, so I lose 2 min every day, or 1 hour a month waiting for this app to open. It's so annoying. The iPhone version does not do this.

Sorry the startup optimization takes too long. Please update to the latest version; we are working to reduce repeated loading. If it still takes around 10 seconds, send a recording through in-app feedback so we can follow up.

This was a useful app in China until I updated to 10.10.3. Over 20,000 proxy options were loaded and nothing worked at all over these several months. I also tried to upgrade to 10.10.5 but the the update said it is not compatible with my Android 14 phone even though compatibility says it only needs Android 12. I just uninstalled the app and then installed an earlier version of the app. INSTALLING 10.9.2 WORKS! Try that.

What’s new

• Improved FakeDNS routing/sniffing so fake IP traffic restores domains first and uses proxy more reliably
• Switched default VPN DNS to Google DNS and enabled Local DNS/FakeDNS by default
• Cleared legacy delay results so speed tests reflect real web availability
• Improved node list refresh and speed test result stability
• Fixed crashes from speed-test ads, large imports, and RecyclerView node updates
